The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 57

When Changsun Ji came out of West Lake View Tower and walked to the carriage, Shen Qiuyi, who had just settled the bill with Lanhuiban and West Lake View Tower, trotted up to Changsun Ji.

Looking at Changsun Ji who boarded the carriage, Shen Qiuyi bowed his head, knelt down, and bowed to Changsun Ji: "It's the subordinates who are useless to let the lord suffer such a great humiliation."

Changsun Ji turned around, squatted on the side of the car, and looked at Shen Qiuyi who was kneeling on the ground.Changsun Ji said lightly: "Zi Chan doesn't have to do this. In the final analysis, this matter is caused by me and has nothing to do with you."

"Can……"

"Don't worry too much, do your own thing well. I'm very optimistic about your ability. Since you are loyal to me, if you encounter difficulties, I will take care of them."

"Get up, get in the carriage." After Changsun Ji finished speaking, he got into the carriage. It was the hottest time of the day, and after only staying outside for a while, he felt a little uncomfortable in the sun.

As soon as Changsun Ji entered the carriage, he heard the sound of his forehead hitting the ground outside.Then, Shen Qiuyi's voice came. "Thank you for your generosity, young master. Shen Qiuyi will be loyal to young master and will be on the saddle for young master."

Then he boarded the carriage and walked into the carriage.

Changsun Ji said to the coachman waiting outside: "Go back to the Marquis Mansion".

The wheels passed by on the bluestone road, making a "gurgling" sound, and Changsun Ji sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and meditated.After a while, Changsun Ji said to Shen Qiuyi: "Don't be in a hurry to do the matter of Yichunyuan, first see how Xingtai reacts. Don't say that I don't give him face when the time comes. This fellow You're so small-minded, you probably can't even squeeze a bean into it."

"Since he said just now that I don't need to intervene in the matter of Yichun Courtyard, then I will not. If he completes the land deed of Yichun Courtyard and hands it over to you, then let it go. If he fails to complete the matter after two days, you So I bought the land deed. By the way, I asked someone to tell the prince Xima Wei An about Xingtai driving the emperor's imperial car privately."

"This Wei An is a loyal and upright official, and he will never see anything that violates etiquette. If he knows that Xingtai violated etiquette today, he will definitely play it. It can be regarded as repaying today's Xingtai's humiliation!"

"Yes, my lord." Shen Qiuyi nodded.

Day by day, the weather is getting hotter.Pedestrians wandering in the streets of the entire Yanjing City gradually became rare.Some people who like to be lively by nature gathered under the tea shed in twos and threes, talking about the romantic affairs of the rich and powerful, or the aristocratic spending of money by that noble son when he was competing for favor in the brothel.

The business of teahouses and tea sheds, which should have subsided after the autumn, has ushered in the spring again, and the income has not decreased but increased. , I hope that the day will continue to be hot.

Except for some dignitaries who complained about the hot weather and waved their fans.The rest of the people didn't dislike it very much. After all, compared with the fact that the grain can be collected in the granary this year, the viciousness of the sun is nothing.

Now all farm work is almost entirely done by manpower. From harvesting to transportation, from peeling to drying to storage, it takes nearly a whole month.

During this period of time, what farmers are most afraid of is rain.In this year, food is more valuable than people's gold. People are fine in the rain, but food is not.

If the grain has been harvested and it is okay, you can find something to cover it.The unlucky thing is that those grains that are still in the ground have not had time to harvest. Once it rains, there is nothing to cover them.Some grains that have been exposed to rain will become moldy and sprout.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, farmers usually dispatch their whole family at this time to harvest day and night.

Liu'an Marquis Mansion, Peng Garden.

Changsun Ji looked at Shen Qiuyi who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "You really didn't do this?"

"My lord, this matter was not done by my subordinates."

Hearing Shen Qiuyi's answer, Changsun Ji smiled: "I believe you did not do this, get up! Don't kneel down at every turn, there are no such big rules here."

After Shen Qiuyi got up, Changsun Ji said again:

"I'm just asking casually. On that day, Xingtai put the Yuci car driving hall next to the West Lake View Tower under the public view. Many people will see it, and the prince's washing of horses is also known for being rigorous and rigid in the capital. Someone put the two It’s no surprise that people connect.”

"You go down first! Don't rush to tidy up the Yichun Courtyard. The turmoil of sexually transmitted diseases has not completely subsided, and now Zhang Luo is getting twice the result with half the effort. After a while, Ma Xiao will bring back some grain. Why don't you use it as a warehouse for a while, okay?" ?”

Changsun Ji spoke softly, and looked at Shen Qiuyi after speaking, waiting for his reply.

Feeling Changsun Ji's gaze, obviously not very strict.It can even be said to be mild.But Shen Qiuyi felt a cold sweat running down his back.

If you talk about grain warehouses, you can find them anywhere.And put the food in such a good location and such a good house as Yihonglou.It is simply a waste of resources.Although he was unwilling in his heart, Shen Qiuyi did not dare to refuse, but nodded in agreement.He knew that this was a warning from Changsun Ji.

"In that case, you should step back first."

After Shen Qiuyi saw the ceremony, he backed away slowly until he exited the room.The hanging heart was slowly let go. Although the sun was scorching at this time, he still felt a burst of coolness.Gently touching his back, the water stains on his fingertips reminded him that the conversation just now made his clothes on his back soaked in sweat, which was also the reason why he went out slowly backwards just now.

Sensing Shen Qiuyi's departure, Changsun Ji sighed.After meeting Xingtai that day at the West Lake View Tower, Xingtai sent someone to deliver the title deed of Yihong Courtyard the next day, which saved Changsun Ji 800 taels of silver.

But what surprised Changsun Ji was that there was also a copy of "Jinlan Pu" with the title deed.He originally thought that the sworn marriage at the wine shop was a joke, and after Xingtai woke up, with his domineering character, he probably wouldn't admit it again, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, this Xingtai was still serious, and sent someone to bring his "Golden Orchid Book". The next day, he even came to visit the elder Sun Lianyi in person, and casually came to ask for his "Golden Orchid Book".He couldn't refuse in public, so he could only write a copy of "Jinlan Pu" to him under the witness of Changsun Lianyi.

After returning, Xing Tai was grounded by the doctor Yushi.The reason was that the crown prince Xima Wei An went up to admonish the imperial censor for his lax discipline, handed over the chariot bestowed by Emperor Yan to Xingtai casually, and sued the imperial censor for contempt of the emperor's grace.

This crime can be big or small, big things can be made small, small things can be made small, but small things can also be made small, and small things can be made big.The basis for this is the degree of Emperor Yan's favor.

However, this matter was a fuse for Doctor Yushi.

Later, in one afternoon, Emperor Yan received no less than ten memorials, reporting that Xing Taiyi, the son of Xinggong, had imprisoned others at will by relying on his father's authority.
